Hello, I am affected by this bug since, a couple of years (same laptop here, 530U). I have personally experienced it on my laptop on multiple Linux distributions (including Debian and Arch).
I perfectly understand your policies, but I do not really see the rationale behind closing the bug with WONTFIX and asking a lot of people to open a lot of new bugs to signal the very same thing. For me, the bug is indeed solved by the juanmanuel's userspace program (thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!) I've been running that program since it was posted on this thread, and it works like a charm. The bug is also clearly described upstream on the kernel Bugzilla, where juanmanuel's solution is being turned into a kernel patch, so an upstream fix is likely to be on the way. I hope you'll find a way to put in evidence the relevant information, especially when there will be 100 opened issues for this SINGLE problem (or 100 issues immediately closed as duplicates???): this is clearly a SINGLE bug with a SINGLE reference to a SINGLE upstream issue. >From my side, I am *not* going to open another bug just to increase the Internet entropy (and reduce the likelihood for someone searching about the problem to find the workaround)... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971061 Title: acpi reports battery state incorrectly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/971061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
